Title: Vista will not boot - looking for aswNdis2.sys
Post by: REDACTED on January 25, 2016, 05:38:09 PM

My Vista machine will not boot.  Initially it was stuck on aswrvrt sys.  Ran a fixit.txt and now its searching for aswNdis2.sys

-FRST log is attached
-Chk /r was ran
-Bios reset to defaults
-Won't boot to safe mode

Any help is appreciated.

Didn't realize that.  I can restore the file and provide an original FRST log.

The file is zero byte so something has corrupted your install

Download the attached fixlist.txt to the same location as FRST
Start FRST and press fix
Once done try a normal boot

Ran the fixlist.  BSOD on restart.  I'm posting the latest FRST log.
